- Storage friendly

Overall Thoughts
If you're looking for an alternate to UD Electric Palette I think this is a good palette to have in your collection. I originally planned to buy the UD Electric Palette, but that whole eye warning issue didn't set well with me. Maybe I'm just extra cautious, but I'm just as happy with this palette. ☺ I also got a 12 piece brush set that came along with it during a sale. This palette is very cost friendly.

The brush case smells like paint when you first receive it, but I washed it with dish detergent and a paper towel. I let it sit open overnight and the paint smell was gone.

Fallout is minimal and the shadows are long lasting. I recommend using a primer with these shadows to get the full effect of the colors.The shadows are in matte and shimmery finishes. For the shimmery shadows you don't have to use a whole lot for the colors to show. I actually used too much of the shimmery colors and I used NYX Jumbo Eyeshadow Pencil in Milk as a base...the result...I looked like I was going to Studio 54 or a member of the ice capades lol. I just had to redo the eye makeup and tone it down a bit, no worries lolYou can create all types of looks from retro, modern day, bold, and even soft etc. I'll try and post my softer look with this palette soon. This palette is very versatile. Now on to the FOTD ☺

Side Note: Today is National Best Friend's Day!!
I didn't realize that until this afternoon, but last week I invited my bestie over for a spaghetti dinner today, perfect timing!! Always glad to spend time with him!!♡♡

I love all the colors in that palette!! I was also tempted to buy the UD electric palette but held back because I didn't think I would use it a ton. This would definitely be a great alternative for me. And lovely look you did!

Thank you Margo! My bestie and I had did have a fun visit! When you get the palette, I hope you enjoy it! I agree that eye warning on the UD Electric palette had me worried too, that's why I didn't buy it. Like I mentioned in my post, this palette is a great alternative!

Thank you Ashley! That's another point I agree with, I don't think I would have used the UD Electric palette a lot. I can see myself getting more use out of this palette. I love all the colors in this palette too!

This is a great palette! I'm not really interested in the new UD palette either.BH Cosmetics does such a good job with these themed palettes. I love the look you created. It's very cute and retro!xoxo Lauren

Wow those really are colours from the 80's! Very bright and bold. I have to say that those colours look amazing on you, it really suits you. Unfortunately if I used them I would look like I was going to an 80's a Fancy Dress Party :)

Thank you Denise! This palette is so much fun to use! Lol to your fancy dress comment! I really like how I can add a modern day twist to creating makeup looks. Like mentioned in my post I had to redo my eye makeup bc I went a little to heavy on the eyeshadow! lol
